Lil Wayne has had a busy year touring, with additional performances lined up in North Dakota, Illinois, and Texas throughout the summer.
In a December 2023 interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, Lil Wayne shared his ambition to headline the Super Bowl halftime show when it returns to his hometown of New Orleans in 2025. “I want it just as bad as I wanted to see my name at the top of that list when I was whatever age it was that I would bust into that office and get that Billboard magazine,” he said.
Reflecting on his impact in Louisiana, Wayne highlighted his influence on local culture. “I know for a fact that when I do the Louisiana Fest, that there’s like, a trillion people. And being in front of my city and seeing that many people is amazing,” he remarked. “So to know that a Super Bowl would be… what?!”
Wayne’s residency marks a significant milestone in Las Vegas entertainment, where his performances are anticipated to draw crowds eager to experience his musical prowess in two of the city’s renowned nightlife venues.
For Lil Wayne fans and music enthusiasts alike, the residency offers a chance to witness a rap icon in an intimate and dynamic setting, solidifying his status as a transformative force in both hip-hop and live performance culture.
